How many people were in the confederacy?

Answer 1

At the start of the American Civil War, it is estimated that approximately 9 million people lived in the Southern states of America. By contrast, nearly 22 million (or more) persons are considered to have lived in the North at the same time.

Due to missing records, an accurate accounting of the number who served for the Confederacy is not available. Estimates are that between 700,00 and 1,250,000 Confederate soldiers served in the American Civil War.

Based upon the statistic of the year 1860, the population in the USA was:

UNION - 18,715,055, of which 1,798 slaves;

CSA - 9,103,332, of which 3,522,724 slaves;

BORDER STATES - 3,024,745, of which 430,920 slaves.
